Partner with us

Our collaborative network of partners are key to Benefolk's success in the social sector...

Since we started seven years ago, we have collaborated with more than 30 peak bodies, member-based organisations, fellow intermediaries, government, corporate and philanthropic trusts and foundations.

These partnerships help us better support for-purpose organisations with resources and services, address sector support gaps, and advocate for improved wellbeing outcomes for our sector's workforce.

More recently, we are working with philanthropic foundations looking to better support the charities and social enterprises they care about. 

Benefolk's extensive vetting and selection process – as well as our team's deep social sector expertise – sets us apart as a trusted patner to support you and your important stakeholders.

"With a mission to support and bolster the Australian not-for-profit sector, Benefolk has provided great support and care for our members and their needs with professionalism and passion. FIA is excited for continuing the partnership with Benefolk in assisting all Australian NFPs to have strong, sustainable and best-practice revenue streams."

CEO, Fundraising Institute Australia

We have a number of entry points and types of engagement, designed to suit the range of needs and contexts of those in our networks.

Capacity building programs – Running or starting a capacity building program as a grantmaker or intermediary? We can share our expertise on capacity building and/or help with expertise and resources for your program.

Referral partner - Whether it’s support for your grantees or members, we have a robust process to triage an organisation’s needs and connect them to the right service, support or resource.

Supplier panels - Building a specialised supplier panel tailored to your not-for-profit, charity or social enterprise sector is easy with our Concierge and Network of experienced, carefully vetted service providers.

Buy vouchers for your grantees / members – We work with grantmakers who wish to prepay for professional services, and/or access to Benefolk low-cost resource hubs (Expert Bar, online courses, webinars etc). 

Grantmaker distribution partner – Many grantmakers are now looking at how they can best provide capacity-building grants and through our sister charity Benefolk Foundation, we have helped distribute grants to supplier panels to expedite the process and provide additional governance support. 

"As a grantmaker, sometimes we need to provide more than just a grant. We engaged Benefolk as a part of a holistic support package for a key stakeholder. They took time to understand the context to find the right team to provide support and delivered a great outcome."
